Overview
A brief introduction to Norfork Lake
Norfork Lake provides both open breezy stretches for sailing and quiet, secluded coves which are ideal for water sports. Undeveloped shoreline allows for ample room to enjoy the hills and hollows. Public lands around Norfork provide hunters with a wide variety of opportunities. Parks offer campsites ranging from rustic to modern. Marinas provide boat rental and related supplies and services. Hiking trails enable nature observers and photographers to view the Ozark Mountains through the change of seasons.
Norfork Dam impounds the North Fork River in the U.S. state of Arkansas, creating Norfork Lake. The large reservoir is maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and spans Baxter County, Arkansas, Fulton County, Arkansas and Ozark County, Missouri. The dam is located in the city of Salesville in Baxter County, within the Ozark Mountains.
Arkansas Highway 177 (AR 177) crosses the lake atop the dam.
There are 19 recreational parks on the lake that provide places for camping, hiking, picnicking, swimming, boating, and water skiing. Commercial docks on Norfork Lake provide boats, motors, diving equipment, and guides to the lake.
